Tektronix, the godfather of Oregon's tech industry, makes oscilloscopes that measure the output of electronic devices. Its headquarters are in Washington County.

Earlier this year Tektronix donated $22,000 in equipment to PSU's engineering school. And in February the Tektronix Foundation donated $75,000 to laboratory and engineering programs at Oregon State University.

PSU has 3,000 students enrolled at its business school. It plans to expand the existing building from 52,000 square feet to 94,000 square feet, starting construction in 2015 and wrapping up in time for the fall term in 2016.
